BRACKET.

Application filed January 23, 1928.

This invention relates to improvements in brackets and has particular reference to a bracket for holding curtain drapes and the like coverings.

The principal object of this invention 1s to provide a bracket construction ornamen` tal in nature, which is adjustable so as to accommodate various window openings and angles between various window openings.

Another object to to provide a device which is economical t-o manufacture.

A further object is to provide a device which is neat in appearance.

A still further object is to provide means whereby the drapes may be moved to or away from the window opening.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent during the course of the following description.

In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,

F igure 1 is a side elevation of my improved bracket,

Figure 2 is a top plan view of Figure 1,

Figure 3 is a cross section taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 2,

Figure 4 is a. cross section taken on the o line 4-4 of Figure 3,

Figure 5 is a diagrammatic view on a reduced scale showing my bracket in use, and

Figure 6 is a detail perspective view on an enlarged scale showing the manner of attaching curtain poles to my bracket.

At the present time in order to hang a plurality of drapes adjacent a window it is necessary to employ this bracket in order to accomplish this combination.

Applicant has devised a bracket which will accommodate itself to any combination of drapes desired, and further a bracket which is adjustable so that angular drapes may be placed adjacent bay windows and the like.

In the accompanying drawings wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown a. lpreferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 5 designates a portion of a window frame to which a substantially V-shaped Serial No. 248,895.

member 6 is attached as by screws 7 and 8. This V-shaped member carries a screw 9 which is adapted to pass through an opening 11 formed in a slider 12. This slider carries an upstanding pin 13 at its free end and further supports a supplemental slider 16 which also has a slot 14 corresponding to the slot 11. This supplemental slider has one end bent on itself as shown at 17 so as to support a pin 18 upon which is pivotally supported rod sockets 19 and 21.

An ornamental member is shown at 22 which ornamental member has a substantially horizontal portion 23 having upturned sides 24 and 26. These upturned sides are of suficient height to engage the slider 12 and the supplemental slider 16, and are preferably formed of resilient material so as to tightly engage the sides of the sliders. This arrangement maint-ains the sliders in parallel arrangement.

Referring now to Figure 6 I have shown the end of the curtain rod 27 which carries a U-shaped member 28 having openings 29 through its outstanding legs and at 31 I have shown a similar U-shaped member having openings 32 through its legs, the openings 29 and 32 being adapted to be placed in alignment so as to fit over the pin 13 carried upon the end of the slider 12.

By this arrangement it will be noted that as the V-shaped member 6 has been' attached to the window frame adjacent the window opening the sliders 12 and 16 may be adjusted upon the V-shaped member and upon each other so that the drapes carried upon the curtain rods 34 supported in the members 19 and 21 may be varied to or away from the window opening as well as the curtain poles 27 which may also be moved to or away from the window opening or the curtain rods.

It will also be noted that the sliders may be pivoted upon the screw 9 or that the rods and poles may be pivoted upon their respective pivots 18 and 13.

It is to be understood that the form of my invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same and that various changes relative to the material, size, Shape and arrangement of 100 parts may be resorted to Without departing from the spirit of the nvention or the scope of the subjoned claim.

Having thus descrbed my inventon, I

5 claimt- In a bracket of the Character descrbed, a substant'ally V-shaped member having apertured extensions and adapted to be attached to the frame of the Window, a slider car-A 10 ried on said V-shaped member, a second slder supported on first mentioned slder', a pin vertcally disposed on the end of said second mentioned slder, pvoted rod supportng means postoned on said pin, and a second pin Vertically dsposed on said first mentoned slder, adapted to support a curtain; pole.
